Is ClearCorrect right for me?

People have all sorts of alignment problems, caused by everything from caps to overcrowding. The good news is that while healthy teeth are held firmly in place by ligaments, these can be gently encouraged to allow realignment.

It’s rare for someone to have a teeth alignment problem that ClearCorrect can’t solve. Even so, the best person to ask is your dentist. They have the skill and experience to talk you through all your options, and to prescribe ClearCorrect if that’s the best route for you.

So, if you want a smile to be proud of, get the facts straight from your dentist today.

How does ClearCorrect work?

It’s a pretty clever process, although there are actually just three simple steps to a heavenly smile!

Step 1: Your dentist scans your teeth.

This is a simple and painless process. They then send us the scans, complete with a ‘prescription’ for how they want your teeth to be moved.

Step 2: We create a series of aligners

These are modelled to apply light pressure to certain teeth in gradual steps, to take them from crooked or happy to straight, usually in seven or eight stages over a number of months.

Step 3: You wear the aligners

This means using them day and night, only taking them out to eat, drink, brush or floss. That’s easy though, as you can remove or replace them in seconds.

Common Questions about ClearCorrect

Am I too old for braces?

Lots of people are self-conscious about wearing a brace and sometimes feel that they’re ‘too old’ to be seen in one. The fact is that ClearCorrect is so discreet, people will hardly notice you’re wearing an aligner. Even if they do, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to look after your teeth and your appearance. After all, straight teeth last longer as well as looking better.

Can I afford ClearCorrect?

We know that a lengthy clinical process like this isn’t cheap.
That’s why we offer 0% finance, subject to your credit status, to help make a million dollar smile as affordable as possible.

What is ClearCorrect?

ClearCorrect is a system of clear, almost invisible aligners used to straighten teeth over a period of time. On average, treatment time is 4-11 months. The aligners are removed to eat, drink and to clean, but otherwise are worn full time.

Is ClearCorrect painful?

Most patients don’t experience any pain wearing ClearCorrect. Some report a feeling of tightness when first inserted, which usually settles quite quickly. Usually, some anti-inflammatories would be advise for the first 1 or 2 days.

What’s involved in ClearCorrect?

Initially, some photographs, some x-0rays and impressions or a scan of your teeth are taken. All of this information is then sent to ClearCorrect, who scan the impressions or upload the scan and following instructions provided by your dentist, produce a treatment set-up. This is a computer-generated image of your teeth which allows you to see, stage by stage, the movements which will make up your treatment and most importantly what the final result will look like – your new smile!

How often will I need to attend the clinic?

ClearCorrect patients are seen every 4-6 weeks. The aligners are changed approximately every 2 weeks, usually at night to minimise the tight feeling experienced, so that the following morning they feel comfortable again.

Will the aligners affect my speech?

Some patients experience a temporary change in speech. The aligners are mode of 0.4mm thick clear acrylic and therefore the space available for your speech is reduced. However, this lasts a very short period of time, usually less than a day.

Will I need to wear retainers?

Like any course of orthodontic treatment, retainers at the end of treatment are required to maintain your new straight smile. Initially, this will be full time wear, dropping to nighttime wear after an agreed period and continuing for 3-4 nights per week, for life. The retainers are very like the aligners and hardly noticeable, but are an essential component of the treatment.

Frequently asked questions

Will I need to wear retainers?

Initially, this will be full time wear, dropping to nighttime wear after an agreed period and continuing for 3-4 nights per week, for life. The retainers are very like the aligners and hardly noticeable, but are an essential component of the treatment.
Can you use an electric toothbrush with clear aligners?
Yes. An electric toothbrush can be used safely to clean your teeth once you've removed your aligners. 
Do clear aligners hurt?
There is usually minimal pain when clear aligners are changed to new trays. Most patients feel some discomfort and need a little time to adjust to their each new set of aligners as their teeth realign, but 1-2 days is normal.
 
Do I need braces / aligners?
Most children never require a brace. However, if a dentist feels that a child’s teeth and oral health would be improved by braces, they will usually refer them to an orthodontist (a specialist in straightening teeth). The orthodontist can then examine the patient’s teeth and advise on the best course of action.

Braces are usually fitted to straighten crooked teeth, close gaps and/or resolve protruding teeth. Braces are also used to correct a patient’s bite, so that the top and bottom teeth meet when the mouth is closed.

Most children receive orthodontic treatment between the ages of 12-13, when the jaw and mouth are still growing. Receiving orthodontic treatment older than this or as an adult, is likely to be a slower process.

How much does ClearCorrect cost?
For Clear Aligners, treatment costs vary by complexity, which is why it's best to book a consultation with your dentist so they can explain in more detail what your treatment plan will consist of, and transparently explain the total cost to you.

What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics refers to any treatment used to straighten teeth. Most commonly this is braces, but it can also include treatments which address conditions like cleft lip and palette and sleep apnoea.

Orthodontics can be used alongside other treatments to give you the smile that you are looking for.
What’s the difference between braces and a retainer?
Braces are applied to straighten the teeth into a new position by gluing brackets to your teeth and a wire attached in order to apply the necessary pressure to straighten your teeth.

A retainer is often used after braces have been taken off to ensure that your teeth remain position and prevent them from moving back to where they were before treatment. Where braces are not required to straighten teeth, a retainer may be an alternate option used.

Whilst braces are glued to your teeth, retainers are removable. In some instances, you might only need to wear your retainer at night.
 
Who can have Orthodontics?
Children can be fitted with several Orthodontic options once all their adult teeth have appeared, usually around 12 years old. Adults can have Orthodontic treatment at any time, but treatments can be more limited.
In order to have Orthodontic treatment you need to have good oral health overall – put in front of oral health, as treatments such as braces can cause tooth decay if they are not looked after properly.
